afd close
I reverted your close of Articles for deletion/Tercer Grado, as I considered thatthe nomination statement essentially meant inadequate evidence for notability, which is a valid reason.  DGG ( talk ) 23:38, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * That's all right. I considered leaving it open, but the nom technically does not have a valid rationale for deletion, although it indirectly suggests notability concerns without actually stating so ("... only one film review presented"). However, it's important to keep in mind that per WP:NEXIST, potential notability or lack thereof is not based upon the state of sourcing within articles.

Vandalism
, this edit is flat out vandalism removing source material. Valoem talk contrib 07:19, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi : Since you feel that way, an option is to consider discussing the matter on the user's talk page. Perhaps the user can provide additional information regarding this content removal. North America1000 07:28, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I did he removed it acknowledge vandalism, I don't understand why an established editor would removed sourced information.. He made it pretty clear he doesn't believe Wikipedia is for this type of information. Instead of responding he reverted. Valoem talk contrib 07:29, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * (ec) : I see, as per the Revision history of the user talk page. It's unfortunate when a user blanks content when concerns are presented, rather than actually discussing the concerns. Wikipedia is intended to be a collaborative environment, rather than a battleground. Well, if you feel that the user is engaging in disruptive editing, you could post a case at WP:ANI. North America1000 07:38, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * This editor tends to remove sources before nominating this is a problem. He has been around enough to know this is not proper, I just gave him a proper warning. Valoem talk <b style="color: Green;">contrib</b> 07:39, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, since the user won't discuss the matter with you on their talk page, WP:ANI is likely the best place to present your concerns at this time. In this manner, other users can weigh-in with their thoughts regarding your concerns. North America1000 07:42, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * ANI is a mess, I messaged DGG. <b style="color: DarkSlateGray;">Valoem</b> <b style="color: blue;">talk</b> <b style="color: Green;">contrib</b> 07:46, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Duly noted. North America1000 07:55, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Annie Wan
That AfD is really fascinating. The notable artist is the 1961 Annie Wan who is a professor and who is in multiple university collections. Not really sure how to go about correcting the giant mess that the article is. TNT?104.163.154.101 (talk) 07:52, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I have provided a response at the deletion discussion. North America1000 02:05, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I am very pleased that you have been able to welcome the new editor that has questioned Annie Wan and is about to tackle TNT. Outstanding work having just joined us a few days ago. Castlemate (talk) 20:23, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I consider it good form to welcome new users. North America1000 14:29, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Unfortunately that user is exhibiting anything but good form. Castlemate (talk) 19:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Split?
Should Jim's Steaks and Jim's Steaks South Street be split? <b style="color: DarkSlateGray;">Valoem</b> <b style="color: blue;">talk</b> <b style="color: Green;">contrib</b> 09:17, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * My opinion is that it's best to keep all content in one article at this time. Otherwise, a potential deletion discussion could occur that ends with merging the content back into one of the articles, which would be a big waste of time. North America1000 16:53, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

General Host and Bond Bread
Two more you may be interested in. I got tired of the research after a while so I moved them live and figured others can expand if they want. General Host has quite a bit of history missing on the page but since both are now defunct it makes finding accurate information quite difficult. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:28, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Thanks for creating the new articles. I have made a few minor edits, and may perform more at some later time. I'm presently taking a sort of a wikibreak. North America1000 14:07, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Hackman (kitchen equipment company)


The article Hackman (kitchen equipment company) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (companies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of 'This article meets criteria A and B because...' and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:21, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Tech News: 2017-50
<section begin="technews-2017-W50"/> Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes
 * URLs that link to sections on Wikimedia wikis with non-Latin scripts have looked like this:  instead of  . This has now been fixed on all wikis. Old links will still work.
 * A new tag marks edits where a redirect was created or removed. This still works when the editor writes something else in the edit summary. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist.
 * If you use Chrome on Android, you can now use the print to PDF button to create a PDF of an article.
 * Filter by number of edits or filter by time range have been grouped on a same menu on the recent changes page if you use the new filters. The "" link is now more prominent.
 * Some of the web fonts that were provided by the Universal Language Selector extension are being removed. This is to reduce the load time on pages. The web fonts were added many years ago to help users read text in scripts which did not have fonts or had broken fonts. This is not the case any more. You can check the status page for a list of all web fonts and whether they are currently being used and especially for special requirements.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 December. It will be on all wikis from 14 December (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 December at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
 * Octicons-tools.svg You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 13 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * You can discuss new or improved blocking tools with the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team. They will work on building better blocking tools. Leave comments on the talk page.

Dessert carts and Voiture trolleys
Hello, my friend. I ran across Voiture trolley. No pic here or commons. Is this basically a trolley with food that they wheel around? is a Dessert cart one kind? What about those dim sum carts and those on planes? Must it have wheels? Can it have wheels? Are we missing an article or coverage somehow? Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:19, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi : Per a find sources template I added to the article talk page, there's not a lot of internet sources around for the topic. There's Food cart, which deals with larger carts, but perhaps something about this and other smaller carts could be included in that article. North America1000 14:22, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hmmmmm, I don't see much that can be used from that article.


 * So, no refs. It says it can be just a tray. No wheels. That doesn't sound right. So Image 1 in Fake food a Voiture trolley? No wheels.


 * We have lots of these displays here. No wheels.


 * If you ask me, "Voiture trolleys" is talking about wheels and we need some sort of coverage that talks about it all. The best I can think of is maybe Display food or something that is a known term. That can talk about dessert carts, fake food, merge in (bold redirect, no procedure) Voiture trolleys, and all the variants. Then cross-link food cart. Then we get coverage where it cannot fit elsewhere, a headquarter for the subject, and an article with refs that a lot of other articles can link to. What do you think? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:42, 8 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Go for it; create the new article. If you do so, just let me know, as I can likely contribute in my spare time. Below are some usable images. North America1000 04:43, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Nice pics! Thank you. I'm still a bit lost as to how to do this, considering the existence of food cart. Any ideas? Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:35, 11 December 2017 (UTC)


 * : How about serving cart? North America1000 06:57, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I like that. What a clever bunny you are, North America. Would you say it is a subset of food cart and distinguished as something used almost exclusively indoors? (I replied here again. Sorry, I missed this post. Pls continue here. ) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:26, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of Voiture trolley
Is there any evidence that this exists? I found nothing, not even a dictionary definition. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:01, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * : I need a bit of time to research and think matters over, but I will respond relatively soon regarding all of the above. North America1000 01:25, 12 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Surprisingly, there are viable sources available, but not much for Voiture trolley. Some of the serving cart book sources are about building serving carts, but they also provide information on their uses, how they are built, materials used in their construction, and how they are decorated. North America1000 13:09, 12 December 2017 (UTC)




 * – Quote: "In “The Emigrants,” Sebald lovingly seizes on eccentric British materials and contraptions. The narrator and his wife dine at the home of Dr. Henry Selwyn, the food pushed into the dining room on “a serving trolley equipped with hotplates, some kind of patented design dating from the Thirties."

When did redirect become merge?
Please see this redirect and please explain how the information was “merged”. It appears to me it was simply redirected so none of the information was actually merged. <span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">Atsme 📞📧 13:33, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Per the Revision history of the Matt Lauer article, nothing appears to actually have been merged. As such, I reverted the redirect (diff). North America1000 13:36, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok, I merged it...yikes, wish there was an easier way. If you would, please check to make sure I did it correctly - my question would be about making sure the edit history goes with it, and if the TP needs to go with it, too. <span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">Atsme 📞📧 14:51, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

So sorry to bother you again. When considering consensus to merge, I followed the supplement Delete_or_merge but there are two editors who have assumed a WP:BATTLEGROUND position; one of whom just deleted most of what was decided in the merge consensus. See the edit history - they removed almost all that was merged. <span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">Atsme 📞📧 17:08, 9 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm simply busy working on entirely other matters at this time. I will check in on this matter a bit later, perhaps tomorrow, which still may fall within today via UTC time... North America1000 17:11, 9 December 2017 (UTC)


 * See this revert - another battleground editor, even after I explained on the TP. This is just wrong. <span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">Atsme 📞📧 04:19, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I noticed that. It may take some time for talk page discussion to delineate just how much content should be merged. For what it's worth, oftentimes the content of entire articles are not merged verbatim. I recommend allowing more time for discussion on the talk page.


 * Also, you can consider notifying all participants at the AfD discussion using neutrally-worded language alerting them to the issue. It would have to be done this way (neutrally worded, all participants) to eliminate potential problems as per WP:CANVASS. As those users already have some interest in the topic, per contributing to the AfD discussion, this could be a way to obtain more input in hopes of attaining consensus. Since some users choose not to receive notifications via pinging, the most efficient way to do this would be to notify each AfD participant on their respective talk pages. North America1000 04:31, 10 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I make one revert by a TB editor, and get my hand slapped for battleground behavior, but others can totally disrupt an article, revert blocks of text against consensus, and nothing happens? How is this fair? *sigh* <span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">Atsme 📞📧 06:42, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Although I closed the AfD discussion with the merge result, I hesitate to become significantly involved in matters regarding the actual merge itself. That said, this will likely take time. You may want to consider neutrally notifying interested users, as per my above comment. North America1000 07:09, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Actually, I don't think it's fair that the merge was deleted after a #redirect was added, so I'm reverting my redirect. The article will stand until they reach yet another consensus to decide what they want to merge which basically tells me they're ignoring the current consensus not to delete but to merge and that apparently consensus means nothing because they deleted the merge. Why should anyone respect any consensus anywhere if nothing happens when they don't? <span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">Atsme 📞📧 19:04, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I understand that this type of matter can be frustrating, but it may take time for the matter to be resolved. It is WP:BLP content, and it appears that people are potentially taking this into consideration regarding the merge. North America1000 19:10, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * At this time, I have removed the Matt Lauer article from my watchlist. I'm trying to take a wikibreak, and while the merge result was exact, it will take time for matters to be resolved per the talk page discussion there. North America1000 00:50, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Help please!
My user contribution page just started acting strange. Can you help me to restore it, please. Jzsj (talk) 15:18, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello : User contribution pages rarely have problems. Yours seems to be in order from my end. What is the problem that you are noticing? North America1000 15:45, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I formerly just clicked "Contributions" at the top of my user page and the whole list popped up. Now it keeps asking for dates and "Hide probably good edits" keeps showing, and when I remove that and add dates it still doesn't "search", but the "Hide probably good edits" keeps returning. Is there somewhere in my preferences or lasting setup that I can restore the old settings? Jzsj (talk) 16:04, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm not the most knowledgeable about this technical aspect of Wikipedia. It's normal for a full list to be displayed when simply selecting "Contributions". There are various check boxes you can change via ticking or unticking, which may create your intended result. You could try changing settings in preferences→Recent changes→Revision scoring on Recent changes, Related changes, and Contributions and see if that helps (I'm unsure if it would or not). I have also had problems with getting specific dates to load using the user contributions page. Another idea is to try using a different internet browser and then see if the problem persists. If any of this doesn't help, or even if it does, you can also post a question at Village pump (technical), where someone more knowledgeable may be able to provide more specific advice. North America1000 16:31, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll try the pump. Jzsj (talk) 17:30, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Hello, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update: Outreach and Invitations:
 * The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
 * Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!
 * If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with: . Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.

New Year New Page Review Drive
 * A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
 * Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.

General project update: If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. —  TonyBallioni (talk) 20:27, 12 December 2017 (UTC) 
 * ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
 * The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
 * To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

Tech News
 * Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 8 January 2018.

Problems
 * When you import a page from another wiki the usernames of the users who edited the article on the wiki you imported it from are shown in the article history. This should link to the users on the original wiki. A script to fix this caused problems for Wikidata and German Wikipedia. It also created a large number of SUL accounts on wikis where editors had never edited.
 * Some bot owners got email about their bots logging in from a new computer. If this is from one or a couple of wikis, you can turn these messages off in your preferences on those wikis until the problem has been solved. If not, you can report more about the problem in Phabricator.

Changes later this week
 * There is no new MediaWiki version this week. There will be no new MediaWiki version next week either.

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * Files on Commons will have structured metadata in the future. The developers are now looking for examples of different kinds of metadata to make sure they are aware of them when they build prototypes for structured data on Commons. You can read more and help by giving examples of interesting media files.
 * The Structured Commons team are making sure Commons work with structured data. If you regularly contribute to Commons and Wikidata you can answer a survey that helps the team prioritise the tools that are important for the Commons and Wikidata communities. The survey ends on 22 December. You can read more on Commons. You can also help the team decide on better names for "captions" and "descriptions". This ends on 3 January 2018.
 * The 2017 Community Wishlist Survey has now ended. You can see the results. They decide what the Community Tech team will work on next year.

artspam
Hello. I'm not always good at recognizing WP:Artspam. Does this quailfy? thanks -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 23:45, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * hi, my very quick reading of the article is: it is an institute that carries out research but there are numerous research institutes throughout the world, how is this one any different from them, how is it notable? Wikikit stalker - meowr! Coolabahapple (talk) 02:57, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I doubt notability. I'm trying to improve my ability to recognize WP:artspam. I think it is, but in the past I would not have considered it. One of my goals is to remove more artspam. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 03:33, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

I don't view the article as having a particularly promotional WP:TONE. It reads to me as a neutrally-worded overview of the organization. Not seeing promotional intent in the prose or promotional phrasing/weasel words stating how "great" or "revolutionary" (etc.) the organization is, and not seeing any promotion encouraging readers to solicit the organization. Regarding topic notability, for this topic, refer to WP:ORGDEPTH and WP:GNG. A research institute does not have to be unique to be WP:NOTABLE; rather it is based upon whether or not it has received significant coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources. North America1000 02:38, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * thanks for the clarification. Coolabahapple (talk) 07:02, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. That concurs with my original assessment, so I was not "blind" to artspam in this instance. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 02:44, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

This AfD
Hi, NA100.

Can you reconsider closing this AfD?. I believe there is support for closure (genuine support I mean). The latest delete !vote which I replied to has been trying to get the article deleted across-wikis for over two years without success for apparent personal reasons. When I commented I can't access bn-wiki, that's why I failed to provide the AfD. Here is the AFD on Bengali Wiki initiated by him and closed as keep. Not satisfied he continued the argument on talkpage, where it was established again she passed WP:ENT and gave up then. I believe he'll likely not respond and there's enough consensus for keeping it. Thanks –Ammarpad (talk) 01:36, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
 * (ec) Hi : I feel that the AfD discussion on English Wikipedia would benefit from relisting to obtain more input in hopes for a consensus to be reached. Hence, this is why I relisted the discussion. While I understand your stance, I don't feel that closure would be the most prudent move at this time. North America1000 01:41, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, the Bengali Wikipedia may have different notability standards compared to English Wikipedia. North America1000 01:43, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
 * OK. Thanks, you're right too. –Ammarpad (talk) 01:48, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

A kitten for you!
hi, i have recently created List of Canadian children's books, hope you don't mind but i based it on the article you created - List of American children's books, i am also planning to create similar lists for other countries as useful lists for wikireaders (and of course there are numerous books that discuss kids lit from various countries:)), cheers.

December 2017
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Hey you, yeah you! (talk) 18:17, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive behaviour. It appears you are purposefully harassing another editor. Wikipedia aims to provide a safe environment for its collaborators, and harassing other users potentially compromises that safe environment. If you continue behaving like this, you may be blocked from editing. Hey you, yeah you! (talk) 18:17, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated
Thanks for reviewing Settlemint, Northamerica1000.

Unfortunately SwisterTwister has just gone over this page again and unreviewed it. Their note is:

"Not sufficiently tagged as it should be as noted at WP:NPP (Tutorial). It's important reviewing is done properly and that articles are tagged when needed, there's no evidence to suggest the relevant tags were considered here. The sources are announcements or notices and these cannot qualify as acceptable in our article standards."

To reply, leave a comment on SwisterTwister's talk page.

 * Per New pages patrol, this un-review was not actually qualified. Unreviewing is to correct incorrect tagging or overtagging. Furthermore, since the un-reviewer added a notability template, it is further appropriate to mark the page as reviewed. North America1000 07:59, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Some advice
+

Notice
−	It looks like some people have given you advice before, but let me see if mine will help. You have one interest here and it's food articles, you restore material because you think it's appropriate, but if everyone else removes it or blanks it, you immediately restore it or revert them. This isn't the collaboration that it takes to work around here, Wikipedia is built on collaboration and so, if someone disagrees with you and there may be good reason why, the last thing you need is to be reverting them, reporting them, spamming them, whatever. It would be good advice that you find some other subject or other quieter area, because, why is it worth the trouble of disagreeing with people you know are going to disagree with you? Not everyone likes food articles and not everyone will like adding whatever trivia like if the place opened yesterday or last week. There are a lot of websites that people can add that, but Wikipedia obviously isn't every website. From the looks of your contributions, you've been going on and on at food articles for months and months, disagreeing with anyone who disagreed on them. Like the good saying goes, "If someone disagrees with you, understanding why they disagreed is a good place to look". If people have disagreed with you over and over about something, and you think reverting is going to help each time, then that's not ever going to change things and it's causing future disagreements. A lot of businesses operate wherever and all of them can serve a lot of things, none of it is a big deal or worth it if you know people disagree and if there's a good chance it's going to get heated. Not everyone always has to include food trivia or whatever about it, and especially if it's clear something is going to be controversial about it, it could be 5 editors who disagree, it could 10 editors, and that's what makes it controversial. If Wikipedia is built on collaboration, then there has to be good common sense and not that the other person must be biased or something. Wikipedia is not here for our own personal interests or what we think should be in articles, it's here because of what is good for Wikipedia. 3RR because someone disagreed with one part you thought should be included is definitely not that collaboration. There are a lot of different things here on Wikipedia and food doesn't have to be one of those things if it means reverting. If everyone looked at an article and thought "I think that's cool even if some people disagreed about it before and blanked it, then let me add it again", then that's a good chance of another fight. Wikipedia wasn't ever built for that and nowhere here can I see something that food is either. It's your choice, reverting edits because of something you think should be included, or ending in the obvious place each time. Immediately calling something a WP:NOTHERE flaming or a troll definitely isn't helping and it doesn't make an article look good if that's all it exists for: "I like it". Hey you, yeah you!
